01
A monthly decision rhythm, not a one-off workshop
Fixed consultation slots with the decision-maker and process owners. Roadmap, priorities and escalations return each month in the same format — leadership sees progress, not just slides.

Monthly consultation package
Chief AI Officer
Need someone accountable for AI — without a full-time hire and without another strategy PDF?
A monthly CAO consultation package: a working cadence with leadership and IT, standing up an in-house AI function, and training the team — so decisions, governance and skills grow together, not as three separate projects.
02
Standing up an AI function in the company
Roles, ownership, tool-use policy, vendor criteria and a first delivery backlog. We build a function you can run internally — not a dependency on an external guru.
03
Team training for real work
Paths for leaders and operators: from safe-use rules to practice inside your processes. After the retainer you keep skills and playbooks, not just a login.
Does this sound familiar?
If you recognise at least two of the signals below, a CAO package clarifies role, cadence and skills before you buy another tool.
- No one is clearly accountable for AI — decisions fall between leadership, IT and “enthusiasts”.
- Tool pilots exist, but there is no policy, owner or success metric.
- You want an AI function, but a full-time CAO hire is not justified yet.
- The team has tool access, not a shared working standard and training path.
How we work
-
Month 0 / start
Diagnosis and working cadence
We set business goals, risks, decision-makers and the monthly consultation format. We map skill and data-infrastructure gaps — without building a plan on empty assumptions.
-
Months 1–3
AI function + first deployments
We design the AI role and scope, use policy and backlog. In parallel we run training and close the first deployments with a measurable before/after.
-
Ongoing retainer
Sustain, govern and grow the team
Monthly consultations, vendor reviews, roadmap updates and further training cycles. The function stays with you — we scale intensity, not headcount.
What the package includes
-
Monthly CAO consultations
A fixed rhythm of strategic and operational sessions with a leadership readout: status, risks, decisions needed.
-
AI function / unit design
Roles, RACI, tool-use policy, vendor criteria and a 90-day delivery backlog.
-
Team training programme
Role-based paths (leaders / operators), materials you can repeat internally, and criteria for “we can run this without you”.
-
Playbooks and knowledge handover
Process docs, decision templates and governance checklists — so knowledge does not leave with individuals.
Questions we hear most often
Does this replace a full-time Chief AI Officer?
At the entry stage — yes: fractional CAO with the same accountability for strategy, governance and skills, without the cost and risk of a full-time hire. When the function matures, we help decide whether to build an internal seat.
How long is the commitment?
We usually start with three months (diagnosis, function, first deployments and training). Then a month-to-month retainer with a clear scope of hours and topics.
Is training a separate service?
In the CAO package, training is part of the cadence — not a one-off event. We can also plug in catalogue programmes (e.g. AI Readiness, Claude + MCP) when they match your backlog.
